We're Adopting

It is so strange as I sit and think about this process. Right now our children are out there. We don't know if they are happy or scared, hurting or safe, hungry or cold. Loving someone you haven't met is the strangest feeling. I know I can't be the only one to have felt it, but somehow it still feels isolating.

 A staple of parenthood is knowing your child's past. Their likes and dislikes, their various favorites, simply put who they are. Sure we are licensed from newborn to 4 years old, and there is a chance we will get a baby who may not have too much of a past or any favorites yet. But we are hoping for a sibling set, meaning we know we have the potential of having to learn rather quickly what most parents watch develop.

We've been on this journey for more than two years now. It has been trying to say the least. Through it all we've had each other, and because of that fact, I know we will ride this road together wherever it takes us. We may never know how far away from our destination (adoption) we actually are, but no matter how steep it may get or how bumpy our road may become we will ride through it, assured of t
he knowledge that our wheels will never fall off. He is my rock, and I am his.
